    December 1990 Pop Culture: Judas Priest, Darkman & Gnards
    Nov 12 2024
    Our second episode on Sassy's first reader-produced issue covers its pop culture topics. Whose mom surprisingly liked Das Damen? Is "gnard" going to catch on as a slang term? And is Nathan Limbaugh...okay? There's also movie reviews, a One To Watch who may or may not be, a profile of Faith No More's Mike Patton, and a bushel AND a peck of a Mystic, CT scribe named Eva Peck. Put down your Factsheet Five for just a second and listen!

    December 1990 Teen Life: Protests, Fruit & Cocaine
    Oct 29 2024
    The staff at Sassy had impeccable instincts for building its community -- and in the days when doing so required going to the post office to put actual paper goods in the actual mail, too -- and there's no better proof of their success than its first-ever reader-produced issue. The proof that some 80+ real readers made the issue happen is that...you know, the photos are kind of dark. Also that a lead feature about parents doing cocaine and the effect of their drug use on their 10-year-old son showing a few more gaps than we typically like to see in a piece purporting to be factual. But is the nitpicking by at least one of your co-hosts due in large part to the fact that she's jealous of all her then-peers who, unlike her, WEREN'T too scared to apply? Yes, yes it is. The readers bring us all the usual departments, plus a new one (Green Gossip) and the return of On The Road and a super-sized Stuff WE Wrote: join us as we leap in to the Teen Life topics of the December 1990 issue!

  • November 1990 Slumber Party: Spacing Out, Chasing Boys & Counting Tampons

    November 1990 Slumber Party: Spacing Out, Chasing Boys & Counting Tampons
    Oct 15 2024
    How spacy are we? According to Sassy's November 1990 quiz, the answer is "possibly a lot spacier than some of us would care to admit" or "just about as spacy as we thought." Then, because we spaced on our last combined Slumber Party episode, we go back in time to take the September quiz and Rate [Our] Boy-Obsessiveness. (If you predicted that Pam's score would require a whole different scale, good job: you've REALLY been listening.) Then we move on to some of your latest calls, which cover topics including how a driver's ed teacher might work smarter, not harder; how to ruin a pair of overalls with a single trip to the bathroom; and how messy a woman's first-date meal can be without driving her beau away. Don't space out: listen now!

    November 1990 Fashion Etc.: Hair School, A Witch & Brown Squats
    Oct 1 2024
    The weather's getting chillier, and the fashion (etc.) of the November 1990 knows it. Hence a whole story about brown coats, and a spread to help you source all the goth-y looks your black heart desires. Mary brings us a report on her time auditing classes at the Vidal Sassoon Academy and actually getting to cut real (mannequin) hair. Jane tells a confusing story about getting mugged, a pet store owner's daughter sticks up for her mom (we're not having it), and much much more in an episode that REALLY smells like Teen Spirit!

    Did Iggy Pop and Debbie Harry approach their "Well, Did You Evah?" cover for Red Hot + Blue with the appropriate level of professionalism? Which downtown shopping and dining spots Christina visited with Sonic Youth still exist today? Was Shawn Wayans One To Watch? What does "gerbiling" really mean? And how did Winona Ryder EVER agree to play a character named Dinky Bossetti? We can't promise we answer all these questions, but we definitely try in the November 1990 Pop Culture episode!

    October 1990 Fashion Etc.: Twin Peaks, Muscles & Be Fri Necklaces
    Aug 6 2024
    This month's fashion stories run the gamut more than most issues. Do you want to dress like everyone on Twin Peaks? It's 1990 -- of course you do, and so does everyone else! Do you want to wear velvet? Mmmm, depends if you like everyone to see sweat stains on your catsuit. This month we're also learning why we should exercise with weights, how gardening clogs could be worn in everyday life, what benefits you could obtain from loitering around a department store wig section (???), and who came SECOND in the Sassiest Boy In America contest -- but first in our hearts. Snap that Best Friends necklace in half now: you'll want complete silence for our latest episode!
